Thanks for the tune up last week. The dice sets you showed me have helped me in concentrating more on my specific point numbers.  

What I enjoyed most and learned the most from was our hookup at the casino. I was most impressed with your attitude towards winning.  The free play coupon comes to mind. I would have never thought to try to get the casino to accept an expired coupon.  I,m sure they have accepted these in the past. Hey why not bet there money! 

You gave more of your self than was required and I think this could only be done by someone who loves what they do. Thanks again and hopefully  see you in the fall.

-Mike, March 30, 2005

Thought I would let you know how things have been going. since we last talk.  That was on Jan 25th.  I took your advice on how to play a one table Casino, and it has really  paid off.  I have played 18 times in Feb.  I have won 14 times and lost 4 by playing by playing the pass, come then switching to place bets.  If the table is cold or chopping , I play the don't then switch.  Thank you for your adivce.

I recently took your one on one two hour class. I went away with a totally new perspective on the game of craps. I was a little overwhelmed, but I was still able to win $1175.00 in less than an hour.

Hello Coach Beau,

I took your class a couple weeks ago with my friend Ron on January 12 @ 1:00pm. You're class was amazing. It definitely jump started me into good craps play, and helped me avoid many costly mistakes that could have only been learned through many years expensive experience. I love the game, and just can't seem to stay away from it. 

Out of the different throwing positions you showed me, I liked stick
right the best, but seemed to perform best at the end of the table. I
suspect it may be due to the fact that it is easier to keep my arm
straight therefore keeping the dice more uniform in the air. My 1st
long throw was at the end of a shorter table at Harrah's, it lasted 25
mins... until the pit boss came over and started quoting exactly how
long I had been throwing each time a minute elapsed (I have to learn
how to tune those people out). The other highlight of the trip was @
Ceasars where I had three 10-15 minute rolls in about 45 mins. 

 It was just me @ stick right and a guy named Jimmy stick left. Basically, I wasn't betting too much, but Jimmy bet everything. Each time I hit his numbers he tipped me- 1st with green chips then 1 or 2 blacks. Boy was that motivating. I quit setting for my numbers and started setting the dice for the six which he had about $360 on. Each time I would seven, he would pass the dice back to me. I think that helped keep me in rhythm.

Thank you Coach Beau for the excellent class you've put together, and
everything you taught me. I can't wait for the Dice Buster's Seminar
in February, and I'm practicing away!

-DS, January 17, 2005

Well I'm back in Indiana. I thoroughly enjoyed my session with you. I believe the changes we made in my grip and toss will yield big profits next time I step up to a table. 

I really love the strategy on how to qualify a shooter whether it's me or someone else. I've got 6 hours of practice in since arriving home Tues evening. I can't wait to get to the boats after Christmas. I'm using Toss Track on very throw and going through all the sets you provided me. 

Thanks again.

-Dave, December 20, 2004

Comments: I normally do not leave testimonials, I have not attended one of your classes but I have spent some time learning from what you have on the web here. 

I understand that what you are teaching is not a system, it is a skill. 

I just learned to play craps at a local casino a few months ago. I love the game. It really is not about the money. It is about the thrill. But loosing money can make that thrill short. 

A little while ago I stumbled upon your site and I studied up and practiced for hours and hours. I walked into the casino with a small amount of confidence and a little bit of skepticism. I walked over to the $10 craps table and laid down some chips. While other were shooting I did alright. When it came to my turn it was a different story. I was hot. 

Comeout rolls I was hitting 7's like you would not believe(4 or 5 in a row). After the point was set I swapped to the 3V set and I had some streaks going. The people across the table from me went from $10 bets to $100 bets. It put a smile on my face. I am impressed. I can only imagine how much a class with you could do. Thanks.

I know it has been a long time since my last report. Had the finest day ever at the Borgata in Atlantic City. 

I have been playing religiously there for quite some time. It is by far the best facility in Atlantic City. I was throwing on a $10 table at night last month and got on a roll with the Hard Ways set. I never bet the inside since my bankroll was down a little. A fellow two left of me was betting Green and Black chips on the hardways and Pass Line. I started hitting hardways just like I should with the set and he was making a bunch of money. I was rolling for some time and I see two “Quarters” fly towards the stickman and I hear “$25 on the hard 6 and 8 for the shooter.” 

With the pressure on I hit a hard 10, 4 and two 6s. Before I was done I won $450 on two rolls for me and over $6K for the generous friend. Not sure what he won on the pass line bets but I rolled for an hour. I have been practicing and get numerous dealer complements now and even have folks following me from table to table. By the time I left the tables after 3 hrs I was up $750.

 Almost doubling your bankroll is great but doing it with someone else’s money is sweeter. Have a great Holiday season and good luck on the roll.

-DH, December 17, 2004

Coach, thanks so much for taking the time to give us a tune up. We both did much better in the casinos than we have been. 

I used that stack em don't rack 'em on the comeout a few times. I won it twice, the others I lost my point but all in all it's a great bet. My betting was lousy, I would start slow and by the time the hand was done, the table would be crowded. 

I ended up down $14 over all, which I think is pretty good considering I was betting scared. We both bought some pyramid rubber at the General Store and will be practicing until our next trip. hope to see you both again.

-EW, October 1, 2004

I wanted to thank both (dice Coach & Beth) of you for not only making last weekend at the Hilton possible, but also so enjoyable. You two are a class act and your positive energy is contagious. 

  Once again, Beau expanded my horizon regarding the game of 
craps, ie tournament play. My emotions covered both ends of the 
spectrum during the tournament. The low point was finishing the 
first round with less than $100 in checks. 

Being lucky enough to catch a wild card was a bonus. The high point was utilizing the skills taught to me by the Dice Coach and setting for all sevens on the last roll of round two. With three grand on the Red Devil, the dice left my fingers and traveled in slow motion in that perfect arc, sticking near the back wall. It was indeed a beautiful thing when the stickman called out "seven". That single delivery of the dice wiped out the table contenders and placed me into round three. Simply near perfect and on axis; three - four showing. This feeling was not feasible prior to working with Beau. 
 
Watching Beau and the Boys work at the Nugget on Sunday was 
pseudo-painful only due to the fact that the table was packed. Being 
a spectator at a hot table will always be a source of frustration. 
It was fun watching the action, but with planes to catch and Vegas 
time expired, it's back to Minnesota. 

  The desert remains one of my favorite places to visit, and the 
Coach always enhance the experience. Thanks again. 
      
-GS, September 19, 2004

All of the posts I have read about the Dice Coach are glowing and for someone of my disposition that usually is not a good sign. 

I mean really, how can anyone be that good? Well after being with Beau for 10 minutes I felt I was getting reacquainted with an old friend as opposed to meeting him for the first time. 

In his craps pit we discussed betting strategies, dice sets, table position, tossing technique and the price of ready mix concrete (hey, he worked construction before getting the calling and that is what I currently do).

Beau showed me a way to tip toe into a roll with shooters without a lot of exposure while setting up should the roll become a good one. After observing my roll he suggested that I switch from my straight six set to the all sevens for the come-out and forget about the 2V for the outside numbers sticking instead with my preferred 3V set.

He seemed impressed that during my 2 short hours with him that I did not throw one craps number. He asked that I send him a note about the trip and I have to say that I saved the craps numbers for the tables in the casinos because I threw quite a few of them there. 

To say I was impressed with my time with Beau would be an understatement. Thanks Beau it was a pleasure to meet you and I definitely believe that my game was improved immensely by taking the class.


-BM aka Bermuda, September 18, 2004

Hi Beau, thanks for spending 2 hours of quality time in helping me with my grip, settings, toss and keys to become a precision shooter. I enjoyed my educational time at the comforts of your beautiful new home. 

I would have liked to report back that I had several long rolls.....it will have to wait until my next trip to Vegas. Although, I did improve my shooting and I believe with practice, I will be better. 

I would recommend anyone interested in "Craps" to take Beau's class. It's worth every penny! 

-Steve, September 17, 2004

I'd like to first thank your lovely wife for her hospitality. She definitely makes a good first impression when a student first enters your crap pit.

What a class! I learned so much in a short time. As a teacher, I am critical of other instructors and you were the exception to the rule. You were patient with me and the other student, no question was a silly question, and if your instruction did not work one way your changed gears and tried another approach.

I spent four days in Las Vegas and came out a winner. I have been shooting craps for only a few years but hardly every came home a winner. 

I came out ahead! I am convinced that It was your class that helped. I can''t get to the casinos much but will practice what I have been taught and when I can get to the casinos I will come out a winner again. 

Thanks again!

-ES, August 24, 2004

This country boy from Texas started shooting crap about ten years ago. 

Looked on the internet and found a Parr class in Vegas. I studied books and built a practice table, took a one day GTC class, took a class with Heavy. He has a great web site. Took a class with Beau. 

I learn something from every class. I enjoy meeting Beau in Vegas, and linking up with his students. It took a while to get my setting and shooting down, longer to get my betting down. Beau helped to realize my signature numbers, even though I track my rolls. 

Just got back from Vegas, rolled 28 rolls at Fremont with Beau at 10:30 am- rolled 25 @ 1:40 am (free T-shirt). The next day at 1:00 pm, I had 23 rolls, next time the dice came around I had 45 rolls. (free beach towel). I then went across the street to 4 Queens, I rolled an hour and 30 min.. 

Good trip, Thanks Beau for your help and advice. Practice makes better. 
      
-Carrol, July 31, 2004

I have been fairly faithful at continuing to throw the dice, perfect my grip and toss, and improve my results.  I am excited to say that I am finally starting to see some results.  

My recent recorded throws are all showing good SRR ratios, anywhere between 7 to 10.  And since I''ve switched from the hardways to the 3V set, I am hitting 6''s and 8''s in sufficient quantities to rack up decent wins in my simulated play.  

My next step is to take my game to the local gambling boat and see how it translates to the real world. 

 I'll keep you posted.
      
-Dave O, West Palm Beach, FL, July 18, 2004

I have been putting A LOT of live casino sessions in at the Turning Stone since my return from Vegas. My SRR ( I have been religiously tracking it) has improved to 14, and I am starting to really feel comfortable with shooting from either SR or SL, but I prefer SR after my session with you.

I have been exclusively using the modification of the 3 V that you taught me, and it has been amazing to see that my "signature" numbers vary from table to table, session to session. Some will be all 6 & 8 while other times It will be outside numbers, strange, but I try to take advantage of what the dice are telling me and focus my betting strategies on those numbers.

I am still working on my money management discipline and would continue to consider this the weakest area of my game.

I have had some GREAT rolls since attending your course, but still end up only leaving even or slightly ahead due to losing money on other shooters. I used to find msyelf planted at one table and remain there my entire session, but I now find myself searching out the empty tables so that I can shoot.
      
-Joe P , July 13, 2004

I went to Foxwoods today on a bus trip. My first rolls on tables I am familiar with and I liked it. 

I rolled on 2 different tables, 3 holds on the first table, then 3 holds at the second, and then back to the first table for the final 3 holds. Only 1 roll shorter than 10 (both dice landed on stacks of chips on second roll and 7 out) and longest was 22. 

I rolled from stick right, gripped way down on the dice, and brought up from table top - no wrist. Nice and soft and dice landed flat almost every roll. Prime numbers about 50%. My seven-outs were caused by too much distance (into the diamonds or landing right on the back edge molding). I was very pleased. 

I imagined your little suspension bridge with the two pendulums was down there on the pass line. Worked like a charm! 

Looking forward to a "tune-up" the next time I am in Vegas. Plant the seed, nurture it, and it will grow into the mighty oak! Regards - 

Roll Long and Prosper.
      
-YODAR , July 11, 2004

I just wanted to thank you again for a wonderful dice class in June - I figured up all of my wins and losses for the trip and ended up +$200 for the trip, which more than paid for the class. 

Normally I would have dropped $2000+. I am convinced that the combination of dice setting/precision shooting coupled with strategic betting is the primary reason behind my success. 

My own 51 minute roll at Bally's was the highlight of the trip - I wish I had only played there, as I was up over $1800 at Ballys (so much for 
Paris, Alladin, Mandalay Bay, Flamingo and Luxor). 

Thanks, 
        
-Tim M, July 8, 2004

You might not remember me, but I am glad you put your picture on your site. Saturday, I played craps in Louisiana. I never had a bad roll!

 Once I held the dice for 25 minutes and made at least 15 passes. I was using an inverted V 3 set. I hit many hardways (6 & 8). I was hitting the table 2 or 3 inches from the backboard and I was really concentrating on throwing the dice at least at a 45 degree angle. The dice (when my mechanics were correct - usually) would hit the table then barely hit the backboard and stop within 2 or 3 inches. I was in the groove. 

I came by your house 5 months ago and got a launching station for my brother. We have been practicing. I juggle and do magic tricks. I won the Renaissance festival throwing axes once and have always been able to throw things. And now I can throw dice too. Thanks for your help.

By the way, I use the thumb and middle finger grip, but when I pick the dice up I use the index and ring finger to push the dice tightly together before I grip them.
        
-Craig, July 3, 2004

Howdy Coach. 

I wanted to let you know that your coaching is paying off. Last session I was using the hardways set and did not having much luck. I switched to the 3V you taught me and starting hitting number after number. 

I had my best rolls at empty tables where I could concentrate on my throw. I still struggle at crowded tables. The 5 count didn't work this time as each shooter got past the 5 count and sevened out in the next few rolls. 

I didn't end up winning - but sure did improved with the help of your coaching. 

Thanks again. 
      
-CM, July 3, 2004

I really enjoyed my lesson with you on May 28th. I took your advise and didn't play the first night I was there because I had only had 3 hours of sleep. 

I started playing the 2nd day at TI and applied what I had learned. In about 20 minutes, I had won $120. I played a couple of more times at TI and then went to Harrah's. I enjoyed playing there more than at TI. I got on a roll for 40 minutes straight shooting from the end of the table! 

The next day, I went back to Harrah's and ran into a friend of yours. He just happened to be playing at the same table as I was the day before. He approached me, inquiring if I had had a lesson with the Dice Coach (because of the way I was setting the dice, 3's on top with the 2's facing). We stood around and talked for awhile and decided to roll together to see what happened. 

The first table we started rolling on, neither one of us could get anything going so we changed tables. Between the two of us, we held onto the dice for about an hour! I don't think I've ever had so much fun. My adrenalin was running so fast, I walked into the women's restroom.... I had to leave the table just to get refocused. 

I did have some losses but I came back home with money in my pocket. Since then, I've taught my wife how to roll. We went to the Pariadise Gambling boat near us last night. My wife got on a good roll and won more money than me. It was great.!

Thanks again for the lesson. Maybe we'll be out again in a year. Hope to see you then.

           
-RK, Metamora, IL , June 27, 2004

Thanks for sharing your home with us for a couple of hours.

We learn a lot!  Just the little tweak in my grip made all the difference.
After you left us I had a nice roll at Bally's and made a couple
hundred but this was just the preview. We headed over to the Parris. 

Only two players on the table so we bought in and Tim hit a few numbers.   Then I got the dice and 50 min latter when I seven out the table gave be a standing ovation.

 I only hit two points but hit 6 hard 4's numerous times. I started with $2 and parleyed it.

The suits came over and took a look but never said anything. Next time I will add a little more as these hit. I was wore down after the roll and we colored up and left.  

I made the mistake you warned us about and figured I could do it again so we gave a lot back the next day betting to heavy to early. 

Thanks again.
Dave

Our first day in Vegas had two items on our schedule: #1 a dice lesson with the Dice Coach and #2 get married!!!!

My wife (of two weeks) and I have been together for over 20 years, so I wasn't surprised when she looked at the Dice Coach and said, "I'VE BEEN LOOKING FORWARD TO YOUR LESSON MORE THAN THE WEDDING!!!---- WHAT A WOMAN!!!"

Seriously though, the Dice Coach and his lovely wife are the best, and make you feel right at home in the craps pit.

After the coach adjusted my wife's grip and sets, she culminated the week with an hour and twenty minute roll.

I guess she had her priorities straight!!!

           
-MB, April 28, 2004

Most craps players are undisciplined and throw money around like they found it in a bag somewhere. 

With your course, I feel like a pro when I walk up to the table and even better with a few friends with the similar skill set. I learned that focus and concentration along with muscle memory make all the difference. I even parlayed my hard ways with confidence in my hard way sets. 

Now....If I can just be patient enough to avoid the "chicken feeders"..... By the way, you're mentioned again in the new craps book called, The Craps Underground. Hope to see you soon.

           
-TC, March 3, 2004

I don't know if you remember me, but I took a class from you last March. I feel guilty for waiting almost a year to update you, but it''s been a busy one. Between getting married and laid off, I haven't had much time for gaming other than my home poker nights (which I have been doing quite well at, thank you very much.)

Anyway, after our class, I had a cold streak at the Aladdin, but managed to string together a few good passes at the Hard Rock before I left, using both the 2 V and the hard ways set. 

I went back to Vegas in June for my bachelor party, and got into a hot tear at the Four Queens on Fremont. Me and a couple of friends found an empty $5 table and I went to work from stick right. I was able to get that perfect "dead cat" bounce three inches from the back wall. I threw 22 numbers before I sevened out, with a good chunk of them on the outside. I made a few place and hard way bets, and did okay, but I was really focused on throwing well. 

My cohorts, on the other hand, cleaned up, and were gentlemanly enough to buy me dinner. 

I'll keep you informed and thanks again so much for your hospitality (and the Christmas card!). I may be back next summer for a refresher.  After all, the classes pay for them selves!
           

-SB, February 25, 2004

Hello again,  I just wanted to say thanks again for another successful trip.  

I really wasn't sure if we could convince Mr. S if this really works. He will only believe what he sees.  He is 100 percent statistic man.  

Anyway we will be purchasing a throwing table sometime soon.  He called me the day after we got back and asked if I would go in on a practice table of some form with him.  So I guess even he saw the potential.  

It probably helped that I held the dice 45 , 30 , 30 minutes all in one day. As I told you the 45 minute hand had over 20  sixes and eights combined before the seven appeared.  I say over because we were not sure of the exact number because we had to figure it out from our progression.  

...  Ill call you soon and thanks again Mrs. DiceCoach for the kindness.           

-K, February 25, 2004

"... I hit two 7s and an 11 on my last roll and then established a point of 8.  

About the time I got ready to throw after setting the dice to the 3V set I noticed the guy at the end of the table set his odds bet right near my landing area.  

I asked the stickman to ask him to move them to his left out of my zone.  The guy made a big deal of me wanting to move them.  I tried to explain why all the way across the table until reluctantly he moved them, grumbling all the time.  

As soon as he moved them I picked up the dice made a perfect throw and set the dice right next to the rubber with no bounce and on the 8! 

 I heard him say, “I guess that’s why he wanted me to move them!”
Then the dealers said they should check the dice, jokingly.  

That is the best feeling you can get at a craps table, maybe there was some luck to it but it sure was great timing.  Just thought you’d like to hear.  The practice really made a difference in the comfort level and ability to lay the dice down softly.  I very se
